Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IrelandThe bed was a little too soft for my own personal taste, but this would not be the same for others. I have no other complaints. Lovely overall! Would recommend if you want a relaxing beach holiday.
The room was very nice and clean. The location is beautiful with the hotel right on the beach, although a little far out for older people to walk comfortably to the town centre. A lovely hotel and very good value.

IrelandSorry to say the choice for breakfast was not great, the fried eggs were overcooked on the bottom and not cooked enough on the top. For us the cereal was not great, but we managed with the fresh fruit options and the toasted breads. The tea making machine was not great either.
Room was very clean, beds were comfortable. Nice sea view on the small balcony. Unable to dry anything on the balcony as it didn't get much sun, but you could sit out and watch the sea. Location was very good, and the beach bar/restaurant was very good, the staff were really nice in all areas of the hotel, friendly and helpful always, much appreciated.

GermanyThe coffee machine in the breakfast area needs both a better milk and coffee, as it was undrinkable. The room and the hotel were very clean but the sheets smelled humid, need to be better dried.
Perla Marina hotel is placed at an excellent location, far enough from the crowds at the Balcon de Europa, but right on the beach. I loved the Pearl inspiration for the architecture, the vintage interior design of the hotel. The bar and terrace are very convenient, staff was very kind. We got an upgrade and would certainly repeat here.

SpainI encountered some issues with the dining options that significantly impacted my experience. The hotel boasts a breakfast area ( at the bar section ) with a stunning ocean view, which I was excited to enjoy. However, it only opens at 10 AM. For a 4 star hotel, I found this timing quite disappointing, especially since it doesn't serve dinner either. If you're an early riser or have plans that require an early start, you're left with no choice but to head to the affiliated hotel across the street. Unfortunately, this alternative feels more like a ballroom for groups rather than a proper breakfast setting, detracting from the overall experience. Given the hotel's 4-star status, I expected more flexible dining options and better coordination to ensure guests have convenient access to meals without compromising on ambiance or quality.
The receptionist staff were professional and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist with any inquiries truly enhanced our experience. The hotel itself was impeccably clean, reflecting a high standard of maintenance and care. Its location is fantastic for those looking to relax, as it is situated right in front of the ocean, offering views and a peaceful atmosphere. Although the main activities and attractions are a bit of a walk away, this could be a positive or negative depending on your preference for either tranquility or convenience. Additionally, while the hotel's parking was always full ( and very small space ), there is a alternative just around the corner that costs only 1€ per day. This made it easy for us to manage our car during our stay without hassle. Overall, despite some dining inconveniences, the professional staff, cleanliness, and superb location made for a pleasant stay.

United KingdomUpgrade has been done but wardrobe space doesn’t accommodate longer clothes. Kettles were very cheap and leaked every time you used them. Bar staff could be grumpy. Pools not open until 1000- this could be earlier ie 0900 as lots of people like the early morning sun .
Good location and very clean. Breakfast good. Reception staff very helpful.

United KingdomBreakfast was poor. Juice and coffee were from machines which were undrinkable, buffet was adequate however we avoided it 50% of our time there. It felt the produce was budget brands and therefore difficult for staff to make it taste good. Whilst our room was spotless it was tired and in need of renovation. Corridors to rooms were badly lit and in poor repair. Drinks in the bar were expensive, staff were largely uninterested and it lacked atmosphere. Coffee unavailable after 11 15 pm as they turn the coffee machine off early. We love to have a few drinks in our hotel before bed while on holiday but didn't bother inspite of it's wonderful location.
The location was excellent and the sea views were great
